I'm sure you were glued to the television last night as the results came in from the Prince Edward Island election.
I'm sure your fingernails were digging into the arm of the couch as riding after riding painted the blue island red.
I'm absolutely certain that after the CBC announced that Robert Ghiz would be the next premier you must have thought long and hard about what it all meant to Canada.
And I can only imagine you concluded, after long discussions with friends and family members, that the election of Ghiz, son of former Premier Joe Ghiz, didn't really mean much, and that if your remote control's batteries hadn't run out and left you stranded on CBC Newsworld you might not even be sure PEI was still above sea level.
But it is! It is still above sea level, and, get this, it's moving forward!
Premier-elect Ghiz announced last night that "We're going to move this province forward over the next four years."
You may remember that last week, Gary Doer, after winning a third NDP mandate in Manitoba, also decided to finally move his province forward.
"I believe the people of Manitoba have voted...to move forward, and that's what we're going to do," Doer told the crowds.
Has there been a more exciting time to be a Canadian?
Manitoba and PEI are both prepared to move forward. Now if every other province will get on board, we'll all move forward together, if only one of the premiers can figure out what it means to "move forward."
